topic last time. What did you learn adjectives. We learned how to identify
last time? them in a sentence.

Are there any questions or

 clarifications regarding that? None, ma’am.

If none, then let us proceed to our

lesson for today.

C. MOTIVATION
Before we proceed to our main Painting #1: American Gothic by Grant
lesson, I am going to give each one of Wood (1930)
you a picture of a famous painting. At
the back of it, I want you to write 3
sentences describing the painting.
Use adjectives.

We can compare adjectives into

paintings. Sentences are like the
blank canvass and adjectives are like Painting #2: Young Lady in a Boat by James
the colours that add beauty to the Tissot (1870)
painting.

Painting #3: Kapistahan by Mike Blanko

(2005)

D. DISCUSSION
Now let us proceed with our lesson. Who Student 1: Nouns are the names of persons,
remembers our lesson in nouns? Who places, things, animals, and ideas.
can tell me what nouns are?

Very good. Now there are two kinds of
nouns: the proper noun and the common
noun. Who can tell me the difference?
Student 2: Common nouns are the general
names of persons, places, and things. They
begin with small letters.
Proper nouns are the specific names of
persons, places and things. They begin with
capital letters.

Good job! Who can give me 3 examples Student 3:

of proper nouns and 3 examples of Proper Nouns: President Noynoy Aquino,
common nouns? Metro Manila, Jolibee

Very good. Today, we are going to learn

how to change proper and common
 nouns into adjectives. Let us begin with
proper nouns.

(Write on the board the following proper

nouns)
 Italy
 Shakespeare
 Rizal

Italy is a proper noun because it is a

specific name of a country. We can make
it into an adjective by adding the suffix –
ian and removing the last letter which is
“y”. It becomes “Italian.”

Shakespeare is also a proper noun Student 1: (Writes on the board)

because it is a specific name of a person? Shakespearian
We can make it into an adjective the
same way we did in “Italy.” Who can try
to do it here on the board?

Rizal is also a specific name of a person.

We can make it into an adjective by only
adding the suffix –ian. It becomes
“Rizalian.”

These are called proper adjectives. Who Student 2: It is called proper adjectives
can guess why this is called proper because they begin with capital letters.
adjectives?

That is correct. What else? Student 3: It is called proper adjectives

because they came from a proper noun.

That is also correct. Now, let’s try to use Student 1: Italian food is my favorite.
these in a sentence. Who wants to give
me a sentence using the word “Italian”?

Very good. Italian describes the noun Student 2: Shakespearian plays are often
“food.” Therefore we know that his/her hard to understand.
favorite food comes from Italy. How
about “Shakespearian.”

There are other examples of proper

adjectives:
